Intimacy following Spinal Cord Impairment (SCI)

Sexuality is complex; it includes physical, psychological, and social issues. Sexuality is unique to each individual and continues to evolve through your life. The goal for anyone with a SCI, as for all people, is to have a fulfilling and productive life.

This clinic is specifically for the support of patients with changes in sexual function following SCI. This is not a clinic for sexual health issues such as sexually transmitted infections.

Intimacy needs can be tailored to each individual's specific needs and comfort level. Discussion, education and possible interventions are provided by Spinal Consultants and a Clinical Nurse Specialist.

This clinic addresses issues such as:

Sexual identity as a woman or man with SCI

Dispelling myths

Sexual assistive devices and positions used to enhance sexual experiences
